| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 21, 2005 22 oz boittle. Rich golden color with a long lasting big white head. Nose of spices and yeast with complex but pleasing flavors. Citrus overtones. Very smooth and well balanced. Good from front to back. How these people keep churning out such great craftbrews is beyone me but this is another winner from Lagunitas. Lou18 (1353), West Paterson, New Jersey, USA

Nose was spice and yeast. Interesting I got spice and black peper in this. and citris and yeast. This was a different kind of summer brew. bb (2930), Martinez, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 13, 2005 Bottle. Amber color with a nice white head. Crisp yeasty aroma with some earthy spice. Nice balance. Flavor has a lot going on - fruity (peach), some grain, some earthiness, some herbal tones - a lot of saison-like qualities. Only problem is, the beer gets tiring. Small sample would score better. ChillCoat (1029), Concord, California, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 7, 2005 This is for #10. Bottle. Golden hue with a medium frothy white head. Nose is spicy and yeasty with dried fruit, light candyish notes and citrus. Taste is very similar. Big spiciness, lots of Belgian yeast, mild sweet malts, light candied fruit flavors, and flowery hops. Milder lemony notes as well. Body is medium and has moderate carbonation feel and a lingering efferevescence. Bit of dryness towards the end. Finishes just as spicy and yeasty as it began. Light lemon peel, bubblegummy notes, sweet malts, light flowery notes. Not bad. ¾ (5003), Colorado, USA

Smells very appealing, very fresh, with the coriander and lemon scented Belgian yeast. Big, billowy foamy head on top of a crystal clear deep yellow body. Light and fresh tasting, some cloves and light soapy yeast. Creamy texture, crisp on the tongue and empty on the finish. A good beer, very drinkable while sitting next to the lake on a warm summer day. lilannie (383), State College, Pennsylvania, USA
